I signed up recently with talktalk and the speed's been good on first floor but not on the second floor, especially the bedrooms as they're furthest away from the router.
I've got an eero pro, which has great app, but the wifi signal seems weaker thank the Virgin router i had in the past. The broadband package comes with one router as standard and i don't really want to spend £££ for another eero.
Does anyone else have a wifi signal issues in some rooms and how do you fix it?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52162847","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bobogago"},"datePublished":"2024-02-08T17:27:49.000Z","text":"scan.co.uk/pro…als"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52162784","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"alexiev"},"datePublished":"2024-02-08T17:19:09.000Z","text":"Do range extenders work with eero?
Just spoke to Talktalk and they're offering to give me second eero for £6 per month, which would be better than range extender as it will create a mesh with the first eero, but not sure if i want to pay more "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52162464","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Skrotzilla1"},"datePublished":"2024-02-08T16:37:11.000Z","text":"TP link wifi extender, pair it with your hub and plug it into electric socket halfway between wifi and signal loss. Costs about £14.
You can also boost signal with a flattened drinks can:

There are also apps on you phone that show how strong a current wifi signal is, might be able to help you what the best option is, it could also be that changing you wifi settings is enough, that the Eero is currently on a channel that a surrounding router or wifi device(s) uses too and hence your not getting the full strength of your signal."}],"commentCount":11,"interactionStatistic":4,"articleSection":"Ask"}
